The -Pufflie lettIng on Mondgy.
The mectin; bn the 23d, called to
select delegates to the Convention to
meet in Colunbia on the 1st August,
ras pretty' well -attended. The pro
ceedings will'be fdund:-in another col
idnn.
.---W-e have -heard it-intimated-that our
failure to publish any notice of the
meeting in Tuesday's issue led to the
in)pression that we wdre disposed to
treat the matter with, at leist, indiffer
ence, if not contempt. We positively
deny the charge, and challenge the
proof for the shadow of such an opin
ion. When we differ from' others in
opinion, we differ from piinciple and
not any petty pique. We are honest
in our convictions, but firi, and we
yield to none in liberality towards the
opinions of others.
When we returned, to the office
from the meeting all the proof sheets
were struck off and awaiting our arri
val at the eanctum, the "matter"
was made up for the paper ; we read
the proof hurried ly with a iew to get
off.if possible to attend the funeral of
a deceased. friend, and did not get to
our dinner until about halt past five
o'clock. All that we could have doue
iyould be to have announced that the
..meeting took place. The llEatALD
which went to press the next day did
that, as well as announced who were
elected delegates.
The Secretary had not an oflicial rc
port ready, so we simply. awaited his
readiness.
We regret to have to notice this
inuendo. but our position both in the
matter of the business before the meet
ing, and in connection with the pres
ent entire control of what goes into
this paper, compels us to do it. We
do not know where it originated, nor.
do we car.,, but it i. material that we
should refrte the charge come frow
what source it may. iNC.

And whereas those conditions. are
ueliis~to j;reehtule the possibility of
the late Confederate States sending
delegates without comwitting them
I selvesto a course diametrically oppos
ed to their idea of what was the true
ebaraeter of the late civil war, and
Wherea -, the den a-id of those who
originated this Convention is retro
spective in its haracter, and pro
noities judgment in advance upon our
d istinouished Statesman, Jefferson Da
vis who never has cr)inpromised the
dignity of the South, therefore be it
-. Riesolved, That we, the Citizens
of Fairfield District, S. C., deprecate
any step on the part of the South that
will involve her in greater difficulties
thrn those which now surround her.
2- Resolved, That, while we do not
object to uniting with any party at the
North which will extend i,z aid in our
Itehalf, in securing for us equality in
time Union under the Constitution, and
the seats of our representatives elect
in the Co,gress of the United States,
still we believe it to be more con
f'IPtmable with our interest and self
rcspct not to commit ourselves to the
enndeimnation ofJcfferson Davis mere
ly for the sake of party affiliation ; as
il condemning him we condemn our
selves.
3. Resolved, That we, too, cordiul
ly enderse the restoration policy of
President Johnson.
4. Resolved, That we nre now ar
dently attrAcd to the Union of the
States under the Constitution of the
United States ; that we ignore the
remedy of secession,and that we deny
the power of tie General G- ernment,
under the Constitution, to ex6!udc a
State from the Union, or to govern it
as a territory.
5. Resnked, That we will anxiotts

eve he groniWl doesWt*er one
,particle of resistance to-the ihotion of
the wagon.
But we will explain thia furtha
under the next point to be mpde.
In regard to the toothed wheel,. th
power and resistance (or weight,'<
i not bear the sane relation as in
wagon wheel.
In the toothed wheel of machinery,
where the axle is fixed, the centre of
matter and the centre of motion
agree predisoly. Hence the resis
tance in that case is evidently at
the circumference of the wheel. In
that case the resistance to be over
ioie is the secondary wheel. The
power being applied to the primary
wheel, it must communicate its motion
to the secondary wheel, that is to the
wheel which cannot move until its
leader, ort the wheel to which the pow
er is applied, moves. But in the case
of the wagon wheel, the inertia of the
ground has not to be overcone, and
therefore there can be no resistance
on the ground against tho motion of
the wagon.
In regard to the band used to com.
municate motion from one wheel to an
other, it works on precisely the same
principle that the crank does. A
band can comnunicate motion to a
wheel by huggiag only one-fourth of
the wheel, or even, as in case of an
idler, by.simply running as a tangent
to the.1ircuimforence of the whucl.
But of course no practical use could be
made of this last motion produced Ly
the band. J

tion acts J*t as a series of . levers
